Astrophotography Opportunities in March 2012
Astrophotography Opportunities in March 2012
To get the best possible results with my astrophotography, I try to plan ahead to shoot as many astronomical events as I can. Here are some of the opportunities you'll have in the next month:
March 3/4: Mars at Opposition. Mars will be as close as it gets to the earth, and will rise in the evening as the sun sets.
March 5: Mercury may be visible shortly after the sun sets through March 12, but on March 5 it reaches it maximum distance from the sun.
March 7: The nearly-full moon will rise just before sunset. Mars will rise right behind the moon in the evening sky.
March 8: Full moon.
March 9: The nearly-full moon will set just after sunrise.

Excellent, perfect moon shot :D
ReplyDeleteFantastic! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteMono lake is so wide open, but you somehow made moonrise there feel intimate. Wow. Excellent.
ReplyDeleteNice! And Scott Jarvie just posted Mono Lake shot as well. Great spot for photography and so near other attractions like Bodie & Yosemite
